republicans, speaker boehner has stepped forward and offered a reasonable solution of raising revenue and entitlement reform as a way of preventing the fiscal cliff. and i think -- you know, we've heard the president now saying that he's willing to come down a little bit on the rates. so right now we're in this interesting dance where we're all talking about how we'd like to have a compromise and what we're for. but what's going to be interesting is when we get into the fine print, how that's going to fall away and how the partisan lines likely will start to harden. i think that's why the president will likely go on the campaign trial to try to jostle loose, you know, some republicans but also some members of his own caucus who aren't going to move either. >> we'll find out in the next couple weeks. maria, ron bon jean, thank you so much for the interesting conversation. >> thank you, carol. >>> health care and the boomer generation. so what are the top concerns? we've got the top five next.

look at speaker boehner, he's showing that we need to show leadership. we have to work with the president. they have the message and they'll respond appropriately and you'll see. >> that's very optimistic. i think, i degree with armstrong, the next few weeks whether they got the message or not. we have this big issue coming up with all of these fiscal issues and boehner a year and a half ago, when this came up the last time, he was basically whipped by the tea party wing of his party. so, the real question is, whether he's able to go back to that tea party link and say what armstrong just said, work with the president, some degree on compromise on taxes and raising revenues. i think it's an open question whether he can do that and whether he can succeed in doing that. >> gentlemen, thanks so much. i appreciate your time today. >>> stick around. up next, i got actor and activist ally sheedy waiting in the wings. she'll be with me in a second. >>> welcome back. tens of thousands are still in the dark after hurricane sandy. power crews in new york and new j
